Today was absolutely horrible! 1. Woke up late in the morning because I was having this very nice dream depicting myself conversing perfectly well in Japanese. And I kept brushing off my mom's shouts at me semi-consciously xD Left the house at 7am but managed to reach school on time though! Of course I rushed like crazy for the entire journey, and it resulted in one litre of sweat being produced. Gosh. It's so insanely humid these days. 2. I stole, indirectly. LIKE, HOW COULD I! WHAT THE HECK. (I hate myself kthx) After getting our free cones from Ben and Jerry's, we went into XXX (not-to-be-named for security reasons) and were like looking at some catalogues placed in stacks on the counter. By instinct, stacks of brochures and catalogues = free of charge? For example, Leftfoot supplies a free monthly magazine JUICE, and I take it often to obtain inspiration. Leftfoot usually places the magazines/pamphlets in stacks in a careless corner. So I assumed the catalogues and pamphlets on the counter were free too. I took one, and promptly left the shop. When we were waiting to cross the road, I spotted a $3.50 on the catalogue I took, and was like !!!!!!!!!!!! OMGOSH. Zhiqian, Yiwei and Kim were like consoling me that the catalogue was probably free of charge, since the sensor didn't detect an unpaid item and all...but okay I still can't get over it. ): I'm truly shameful and embarrassed. 3. I sweat like a pig for the entire day. And I hate sweating I hate sweating I hate sweating. Damn you global warming. So everyone please support the Shutdown Day this coming Saturday. TURN YOUR DAMN COMPUTERS OFF FOR AN ENTIRE DAY. IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE!!! If you think about it, what's the point of having instant gratification now when you can actually have a more tolerable environment to live in in the long run. Start doing minor things like switching the power off after your handphone's battery is fully charged instead of leaving it switched on for the entire night. Although it's highly annoying to constantly check on our phones to see if the battery's fully charged, we can save Gaia and save $$$ simultaneously. Pros outweigh cons. If we destroy the Earth for momentary pleasures, we're ultimately destroying ourselves, ironically. The demise of Earth and humans, or the survival of both? K so the day was bad. May day is coming though! Holidays ftw!!! :D The fact that I'd a long weekend + knowing that Thursday is another holiday probably contributed to my habit of sleeping in, indirectly causing me to wake up late. Common tests are two weeks away! But I'm still in the holidaying mood, unfortunately. Feeling hungry now because I skipped dinner due to lack of time. Weird hor. 10:49 PM

Complex World   The world works in the weirdest ways.This has probably never crossed my mind before. There are so many people stricken with illnesses out there. Some were born with it, some got it because of poor living conditions, some just got fatally sick for unknown reasons. Many of them have incurable diseases, the likes of cancer. As compared to the very average, very normal, and very healthy humans, they overcome the odds and live strongly, till Death comes knocking. Here we are, having the best of everything. Materials, education, standard of living etc. We abhor life. Life drives many suicidal, when we ought not to end life like this, because there are so many struggling against life. It's not fair for such people in the pink of health to just say goodbye because they feel like it. But then again, we all have to die eventually. What a curious thought. 12:30AM 11:25 PM
Hi, I'm supposed to be mugging but I am not. So I was obliged to make a trip down to school yesterday for a compulsory CSC activity, which many people ponned (think Candis) Later FT, Shining and I went over to Raffles City's Starbucks to pass some time. Shining promptly left and we went on our "mugging expedition" at Macs...which turned out to be a failure. I'd rate it 0 over a 100. Like we ended up surfing the net!!! Si free wireless. And decided that the environment causes headaches. So we tried to look for another mugging location, but it seems that everywhere was extremely crowded. Mm plus we weren't in the mood to mug. Walked the entire of Marina Square back and forth, left and right, down and up. By then, it was close to 5pm and we decided that we should just go for dinner. BUT, what to eat? Macs: Nah not fastfood again. Swensens: Wlao damn expensive please my hole already has a pocket!! Sakae: Uh no money again, sigh. We wanted to have HK cafe but on the way there I was like, Omgosh let's like settle for cup noodles. FT agreed and we went over to 7-11 and bought our cup noodles, and sat on the floor to have our 'healthy' and economical dinner. Mm. It attracted a lot of stares though, even from the cleaner!!! LATER, WE HAD MUDCAKE FROM GLORIA JEANS'. LIKE AWESOME BUT HIGHLY EXPENSIVE $$$$$. Oh and guitar concert was fairly okay. I didn't think that they were up to standards, and it was pretty emotionless music for me. Could have done better, but given that they were only established last year, it was a pretty laudable feat. I see the glory of being in CO once again. LOVELY FACT: TOMORROW'S A HOLIDAY! (: DISGUSTING FACT: I'VE PRACTICE TOMORROW UHGH=A LOT OF HOMEWORK TO CHIONG BY TODAY (Aggravated by yesterday's slack day zzzzz) KTHXBYE. 12:43 PM

Got Milk?  I think milk tastes great. Kudos to the cows for the milk they produce. Except for the gross fact that rBGH is forcefully injected into these innocent and innocuous animals. Humans are getting increasingly evil all for our own selfish intentions. (Wow I should have written this for the application question today) Mm on another note, I SURVIVED THE WEEK! (again) Really, there are so many "weeks" ahead. It's going to be insurmountable, hor. Then again, we love TGIF don't we. I mean, we practically look forward to TGIF every time the week begins. I hate school to the max!!! What a painful process. Ahh but it'll all be over at the end of next year. A few more months to go, Felicia. TIRED, AS USUAL. JADED, AS ALWAYS. AND THERE'S STILL A STUPID CSC ACTIVITY IN SCHOOL TOMORROW AT AN UNEARTHLY TIME OF 8.45AM. THIS MAKES ME EXTREMELY ANNOYED. X1000000 Tee hee. So much homework for the weekend. Makes me so exhilarated! K anyway let's say I benefited much from today's SOT lecture. Like...there are many drained walking zombies like me out there. This leads to an increase in demand for super bodies with super hyperactive brains that never get tired at all. Market forces will then give science a huge jerk, forcing scientists to start engineering such inhumanly-human bodies. They'll then suck our souls out from our bodies using some powerful out-of-the-world straw, and then transplant our souls into the perfect bodies that can operate 24/7. When this crazy knowledge is applied to the society, the ramifications are unthinkable. We'll all probably turn into some real walking zombies. Working will be no feat. Studying will be a piece of cake. Because we'll never feel exhausted. ? Am I making sense. Or non-sense. 12.27 AM 11:22 PM

Room on fire Literally. It's so hot, especially at night. Ironic huh! I can almost collect a full bucket of sweat just by sitting there and doing Math TYS like a mantra. Mm I've been doing the oddest things these few days. During Monday's flag raising, I kind of zoned out during the National Anthem because I was thinking about how nice it would be if I owned a pair of to-die-for Stussy Dunks..and when I realised it, the school song had started and I was left wondering if I said the pledge. Weirdly enough, I don't remember saying it. I'm so abnormal!! It's probably the first time in my whole life that I FORGOT to say the pledge. *Patriotism acts up and punches me in the face* Like SRSLY. Yesterday I was on the train with Yiwei and we were talking about the MBTI test, and how the speaker said that extroverts would entertain themselves on the train. So I was like, "Omgosh what if I could message myself" and Yiwei was like, "You can!" And so I tried it out, saved my own number as 'Flea' on my phone and sent myself a message saying, "Hi I'm Flea!" True enough, I received the message, and srsly, we were laughing like some mad cows from IMH (in Hougang omgosh hahaha) K anyway my aim for this week is to survive Thursday and Friday! There's Chem mock SPA tomorrow which I haven studied for, and Math test which I've a bad feeling about. And the afternoon for Thursday is going to be hellish, I predict. 1. I have to visit Borders/Kino to look for U2 materials for PI, which is due on Friday (!!!) 2. I've to find an impossible-to-find article for Econs and do my a-lot-of-regurgitating-pages analysis....ew ew ew. Looking forward to CO trip 2008 when I can finally bid goodbye to this stress-filled dot and forget about my current worries. Holiday, I'm working towards you! :D 11.17 pm 10:55 PM

I must sincerely thank Eva for recommending me Hotaru no Hikari because it's yet another great Jdrama :D Srsly a good laugh. And damn good, original plot! I think both Amemiya and Takano (aka Buchyo!) are really good looking people. Darn, Japanese are cool!!! I'd love to visit Japan for another holiday. Love the culture, the people and the food!  WATCH IT, IT'S GOOD. Okay and I can't believe that I'm still wasting my weekend watching dramas, because there are so many things lined up this week. It's pretty daunting. I shall look forward to TGIF again this Friday. :D Oh and I tried doing sigma notation questions from the TYS this morning. I couldn't solve a single question!!!!! *TEARS HAIR AND BANGS WALL* Maybe it's me, or maybe it's the impossible questions. Mm. Mm I should start downloading a new Jdrama to watch. Stress-reliever. 8:32 PM
You only live once Kaboom. East Zone Junior College CO concert @ VJC was still okay, but not a blast. Time flew, I didn't manage to mug at all, save for a few Econs questions which I randomly scribbled answers. Mm come to think of it, the entire concert lost its purpose, because unlike the one I'd in 2006, there wasn't like prep practices or training camps for everyone...and so we were actually sticking to our own schools rather than having the supposed "bonding" between schools. Oh but I fulfilled my long-term goal which I've been nagging from time immemorial, today! :D Someone commented to me that he/she wished that the choice to remain in D wasn't made, and we should have opted out of this train [which may crash and burn, touchwood]. True. I still feel so secondary-school-ish despite having the privilege to perform in a JC concert. What I mean is that, I don't feel like I'm in a JC, that's all. How sad. Initially I was ayokay with the idea of continuing my education in D. But that was when I haven't gotten to interact with the other JCs, or maybe step into a real one and experience the surroundings (even when the school is empty, it does creates atmospheres) Without such comparisons, I was unable to sense the difference between us and them. It is rather apparent to me now that I'm still confined to a very secondary-school mentality. Okay I know that I'm stuck in D, and mm, I guess I'll just make the most of it. Hopefully 10 years (or less) down the road, D can be a JC which everyone recognises as muggerish (already accomplished this, so check that option), yet fun and dynamic. One thing that's still remains positive is that: At next year's SYF, we'll be fighting together, along with the same bunch of people we knew four years ago. I'll hate being in a new CO with diverse people who have different perceptions and attitudes towards the CCA. When an organisation has people believing in different things, the organisation is bound to be rather fragile I guess. But this is all guessing on my part. Perhaps it's different in reality. One thing for sure, I won't be able to experience that. So phew, or no phew? Damn, I'd a sudden revelation but I forgot it in a matter of seconds. Screwed up. Okay I know, I feel like having Ajisen Ramen. :D 12:25 AM

Whirlwind of a week Oh my gosh, TGIF. I'd such a horrendous and crazy week. By right I should be napping now and waking up later to do my GP journals. Well back to my horrifying week. It was filled with events here and there, tests everywhere...I vaguely remember scraping past each day with such fatigue. And the nights are ever so short, it makes me feel like a walking corpse every day in the morning. What would be the best remedy right now is a full 12-hour nap. Which is, then again, made impossible by the performance tomorrow. Oh God, if this is life, I think living in hell is less tiring than this. CTs are in a mere few weeks. Reviewing the chapters we've covered for all the subjects, well it's not just impossible to finish studying, it's damn impossible. Hohum. The knowledge from CSC alone is enough for a brain explosion. (!!!) So many things fluffing through my mind, but so little time to sort them out! Plus execute the things. Anyway, Jinwen is our new tennis captain! *Applauses* From saikang warrior to captain - all in a day. It's like toilet janitor to CEO! He owes me a lunch treat hahaha x10000 yaye :D 8:59 PM

Ha-Ha. I've been mugging Econs for the past 2-3 hours and things just seemed to seep through my brain like some permeable molecule. In there for a second, out the next. Hohum. There are SO MANY, I repeat, SO MANY acronyms to remember. I think they all make up into one Pacific Ocean. I give up, like srsly. Anyway I was wondering how our brains can store so much information...like it's impossible for such a small thing that is nestled in our skull to do that. Not like our brains are as huge as elephants (Oh my then we'll all look like uglified Jimmy Neutron) Like, literally huge brains = huge storage capacity. But not. On the contrary, our brains = small = huge storage capacity. (And this defies how firms work, doesn't it?) We can remember things from a long time ago. We can remember habits and where things are placed. We can remember information and knowledge that involve a myriad of issues, genres, and subjects. It's amazing. And it's our own small brains in our own heads. Small but powerful. How nice if my brain functioned in a way that I'll remember whatever I read forever just after one glance. Like Mr. IQ 200 Jiang Zhi Shu (Fictitious character, I'm sorry) Nice thought, but highly unrealistic and impossible! To hell with Econs Test!! ): K I'm just going to try remembering some stuffs. Like what they say, failing to prepare is preparing to fail. I live by that. (Maybe those who took Physics test today will beg to differ) GO ME X10000 10:29 PM

Oh man, I hate PI! (times infinity) *Stares at the paper in disgust* - ONE CHILD DIES EVERY THREE SECONDS FROM POVERTY It's rather ironic to think how our side of the world is living in such bliss, but on the other side, the grass doesn't seem to be greener at all. The world is filled with a huge amount of wealth but there are still many who live on less than US$1 a day. We are so rich, but they are impoverished. If we are all fundamentally human beings, then why? Why the stark difference? Unfortunately, majority will just exclaim at the shocking statistics and just dismiss it after reading it. I am part of this majority. And I'm not proud of it, at all. 7:33 PM

Sunday Morning was A Bomb! Pictures from Audrey's LJ   Audrey has so freaking sharp a nose and Zhiqian looks like a bittergourd! :D       GO TO AUDREY'S LJ FOR MORE PICTURES AHAHA! :D Anyway the weekend passed so quickly!!!!!! Annoyingly fast. Mm my parents made me go with them to the cemetery on Saturday, promising that we'll "only take a few hours". Indeed. And this morning I crawled up to get my ass to Macs. Did planning and all (extremely excited for BlueSky!) and played with Audrey's MacBook. Hence the photos :D Almost died at tuition because I felt like I was sailing through dreamland? Oh god. I took like 2-3 hours to do the last two questions for the CSC case study just now, die please. I was telling FT how everything is suffocating me now. Well I mean things are piling up like crazy, and more and more commitments are made each day. And the question in my head right now is: Am I supposed to be pro-CO? I guess we (Zhiqian and I) are quite obliged to. In hindsight, it's a reality for self-persuasion. Note to self: STOP INPUT. STOP STOP STOP. Mmm food cravings. Fried Carrot Cake from Albert Street + Caramel Frappe from McCafe (A cheaper substitute for Starbucks' and tastes as well as that of Starbucks) + Meiji Fresh Milk/Magnolia's Fresh Milk. Food is expensive. 12:31 AM

(I'm secretly concealing dissimilarities of myself) They blend really well in the mixture! TGIF FTW We had the most hilarious and insane training ever (slack though). Jinwen Yichen and I were laughing at weird accents of some people and we were imitating them and got super tickled by it. Anyway my forehand strokes suck like shit now I really need to practise with the wall. Someone has once told me that the more you know about tennis, the harder it gets. It's true. To God: I wished I could turn into a tennis pro overnight! 9:31 PM
I'M A SAIKANG WARRIOR, BEAT THAT. Hahaha it's so funny. The Earth is going to spin in the reverse, time is going to turn back, peace will befall Earth and I'm going to get all distinctions for A's. Fact is fact, it's good because they have just added a flower to my portfolio. Yaye! :D I shall go and whip up a not-so-sumptuous maggi mee meal for dinner. 7:59 PM

TIME SEEMS TO PASS VERY SLOWLY TODAY, I DON'T KNOW WHY? Sat at the table and studied a bit of Chem, and then idled around, fiddled with the computer, felt compelled to watch videos, talked on MSN, studied Chem again, wrote some notes... Looking at the time, I think only an hour has passed? 10:45 PM
Mmm cynical people make me peeved. I wasted my day going to TJC for 1/3 of a talk and decided to pon 2/3 of it. Oh well but the feeling of stepping into a real college is so surreal. No pseudo junior colleges for me. Slaps from reality: Never be devoured by your scaredycat character to take the O's. I hate going to school to the max now because I've to wake up so early in the morning and there's always this unending list of work and tests. Not like the early bird gets the worm, because I'm not a bird! Gosh. Chemistry quiz on Friday and I kinda wasted my day doing nothing. Feeling extremely overwhelmed to watch a new Jdrama. Kbye. 9:22 PM
Saturday, April 05, 2008
Taiyou no uta  Fricking great Jdrama with fricking good storyline/cast (Yamada Takayuki!) and a fricking great soundtrack! Chanced upon it accidentally when I was searching for the song which guitar club was practising yesterday, only to find that it was from the soundtrack of a Jdrama. So yaye, drama time. I was supposed to start on GP journal just now (about 1+ pm) and like ended up watching 3/1o of it. Well that's expected anyway. Saturdays are for relaxing, no? I shall do my journal later. I should switch my drama channels to Japanese ones. :D 5:43 PM

The Mad Dash It's the time of my life to start embellishing my portfolio, for future uses! Not that I'm being superficial, but this is reality. And I haven't been an enthusiastic person in this area from the second I was born, and it's probably time to have a "crash course" on it, and give back to the society. It's like killing two birds with one stone. - Interesting happenings of the day: 1. During tennis today we spotted two ants mating (?) and I was frantically trying to separate them using a fallen branch stick. They seemed to be stuck together. But anyway after one round of drills we went back to look for the "conjoint ants" only to find that they were dead - but still conjoint. I quote Stella, they died having sex! Okay probably not. 2. I crashed guitar today. I sat there and listened to them play (and look at yiwei slack) and decided that I shouldn't give the concert a miss! Well every music group in our school surely has the potential to do well, for some reason. Like CO! :D Everyone seems to be aiming to attain such prestige that DHSCO has attained and maintained for the past few decades. It's rather nice thinking about how we worked hard/ suffered for every jixun during junior high years. 3. Yiwei, Kim, Jenny and I tompang-ed their guitar instructor's car and went off to have dinner at Chomp-Chomp. Awesome food, but melancholic wallet. (PS I swear I'm going to start saving money because the money in my bank account is depleting at lightning's speed) Then the instructor drove Kim home, and we ooh-ed and aah-ed at the fricking huge and beautiful houses both in Srgoon Gardens and at Seletar. What great dreams for such measly commoners still struggling to survive tests and the heavy workload. I'd such a great night. 11:40 PM
The point of the Econs essay test today is to tell us how inadequate we are. In Nelson Mandela's speech, "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us..." Our deepest fear is that we are inadequate, and in fact, I am inadequate. ECONS TEST IN A NUTSHELL, WAS BAD WITH BAD TIME MANAGEMENT AND BAD, IRRELEVANT POINTS AND BAD HANDWRITING. But that's history and we should all look forward to tomorrow. I've overcome PI, such an ecstatic feeling. And TGIF tomorrow + tennis. Hohaho! (I just had the weirdest and scariest conversation in my entire life!) I'm so not prepared for adulthood, which awaits me in two years' time. Perhaps it would be nice for Armageddon to happen now! :D TGIF TGIF TGIF TGIF tomorrow 12:08 AM
